VLAD TEPES - THE STORY OF DRACULA (1979) * with switchable English subtitles *

Filmed in Communist-ruled Romania, this is another suspiciously nationalistic film about the exploits of Vlad Tepes, aka the Impaler, who attempted to rid Wallachia of the Turks (and his other enemies) and thought that sticking people on shishkabobs was a good idea. Uh .. yeah. Far be it from me to judge the man and his methods, I CAN tell you that the film spares none of the gory details and is actually fairly, historically accurate.
